The !erriam Webster *ictionary de9nes a team as a

number of persons associated together in work or

Examples include pro:ect teams, ad6hoc teams,

3uality improvement teams, and task forces.

ometimes the team is formed to work on a goal as anad:unct to a traditional hierarchy in an organi;ation.

t other times, the team is designed to replace the

hierarchy.

Getting' good players is easy. Getting him to play

together is the hard part. 0Casey tengel)

purpose among team members, as distinguished

from a group.

new voice

• t the same time, the members are establishing

dependency relationships with leaders, fellow

team members, or any standards that existed

when the group formed.

the team are clear.

• *&at to 'o As a #ollower

• &ecause the members of a new team may

experience uncertainty and apprehension, it’simportant to help members feel comfortable and

that they are a part of the group.

• (n addition, helping team members enhance their

listening skills will allow them to focus more

clearly on the ob:ectives

Module T&ree: T&e Second Stage of

Tea 'evelopent , Storing

We will look at the torming phase where the team

focuses on their ob:ective. This is the reason the team

was created, and we will break down where the

leaders and followers 9t into this stage. Team

members will now begin to 9ll certain rolls and the

team is starting to come together.

the ob:ective0s1, suggesting ideas.

*i8erent ideas may compete for consideration, and if

badly managed, this phase can be very destructive for

the team


• The leader must address any con>ict immediately

and directly so issues don?t fester.

• "nce you understand two sides to an issue, you

can help the team generate a win6win solution.

their role with progress beginning on the ob:ectives.

people who'll work hard enough to bring them about.

• This tends to be a move towards harmonious

working practices.

• Teams begin agreeing on the rules and values by

which they operate.

• (n the ideal situation, teams begin to trust

themselves during this phase.


• s individual members take greater responsibility,

team leaders can take a step back from the

leadership role at this stage.

•

(t is an opportune time to provide team memberswith task and process tools, or even an energi;er

to keep enthusiasm levels high.

• &ecause team members have gained some

mutual trust, they are freer to focus on process

and task.• (f one link is not pulling its weight, or is not as

strong as the other links the chance of success is

lessened.

• Everyone needs to work together.

Module #ive: T&e #ourt& Stage of

Tea 'evelopent , %erforing

The team should now be well into their work and

progress made on their ob:ectives. 2ommunication is

going well and team members are sharing knowledge

and working well together.

)allarks of t&is Stage

• "nce teams move from +orming to 7erforming,

they are identi9ed by high levels of

independence, motivation, knowledge, and

competence.


9/15

• *ecision making is collaborative and dissent is

expected and encouraged as there will be a high

level of respect in the communication betweenteam members.


ince the team is functioning in a highly independent

way in the 7erforming phase, the leader shifts partially

into a support and mentoring role to provide task or

process resources to help the team complete itsob:ectives.

*&at to 'o As a #ollower

• &ecause the 7erforming stage implies high

interpersonal trust, knowledge, and competence,

participants can perform higher level analyses to

support decisions toward team ob:ectives.

• W"T analysis is a simple tool that allows

speci9c ideas to be easily categori;ed to help

support the adoption of a solution to an ob:ective.
